When your attempts to collect have been exhausted, hiring the right commercial collections attorney can make all the difference. Here’s how to choose the right one for your business.
What should you look for when hiring a collections attorney?
A commercial collections attorney should have substantial experience in commercial collections. Look for someone with a proven track record of success in collecting business debts. You need an attorney who will pursue your case with vigor and determination. However, aggressiveness should never compromise ethics. Massachusetts collections laws set forth standards for fair debt collection. An attorney can be innovative, relentless and aggressive, so long as they are also ethical and following the laws.
What should you ask during your initial consultation?
Our commercial collections lawyers have dedicated their legal careers to collecting unpaid debts on behalf of business owners. Here is a list of questions that you should ask a prospective commercial collections attorney:
- What is your experience in handling commercial debt collections?
- Can you provide examples of successful collections cases similar to mine?
- What is your approach to aggressive and ethical debt collection?
- How do you keep clients informed about the progress of their cases?
- What are your fees and billing practices?
Our commercial collections attorneys at Law Offices of Alan M. Cohen & Associates LLC offer an initial consultation appointment. This is a great opportunity for you to ask questions and let us tell you more about how we can help you aggressively pursue your company’s unpaid debts.
What red flags should you watch out for?
There are several red flags to watch out for when choosing a commercial collections lawyer. For example:
- Lack of experience: Be wary of attorneys who lack a solid background in commercial collections. Whether you are navigating the laws about mechanic’s liens or need assistance with a post-judgment collection, Massachusetts laws are filled with idiosyncrasies, detailed requirements and strict filing deadlines.
- Poor communication: An attorney who is difficult to reach or fails to provide clear answers may not be the best choice. An engaged attorney who works closely with you to understand your goals, answers your questions and provides you with updates will be a better choice.
- Unethical practices: Avoid attorneys who suggest or engage in questionable tactics. Your business’s reputation is at stake.
